Celebrating 40 Years as Albany's Premier Hotel and Conference Center

Voted "Best Hotel" Seven Consecutive Years among Hotels in Albany, NY

As Albany's premier hotel, The Desmond is an independently, family owned and operated property that is proud to celebrate 40 years of providing superb accommodations, outstanding service and a one-of-a-kind experience. Modeled after
Colonial Williamsburg by John K. Desmond in 1974, The Desmond offers colonial comfort steeped in rich Americana and modern amenities for the business traveler.

Modeled after a colonial village square, our two indoor courtyards feature mock storefronts, brick pathways, a koi pond, beautiful fountains, and balconies that overlook our year-round landscaping. Together with our elegant ballrooms, these indoor courtyards provide a gorgeous and unique backdrop for weddings and galas. Versatile facilities, award-winning food, and personal service make the hotel an exceptional venue for meetings and conferences.

Conveniently located at the entrance of the Albany International Airport (ALB), adjacent to Albany's premier shopping on Wolf Road and minutes from downtown Albany - our hotel offers more than
just a room - but rather a retreat from the everyday.
